Kota Kinabalu: The State Government welcomed the Federal Youth and Sports Ministry’s commitment to implement more youth and sports development initiatives in Sabah.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the Federal initiatives would complement the State Government’s efforts to develop human capital and sports in the state.

He said sports also serve as an important platform to foster unity during a meeting with Federal Youth and Sports Minister Dr Muhammed Taufiq Johari at Menara Kinabalu on Friday.

Also present were State Youth Development, Sports Advancement and Creative Economy Minister Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan and Permanent Secretary Datuk Mansur Asun.

During the courtesy call, Muhammed said the Ministry had earmarked several programmes for sports and youth development in Sabah, while commending the State for sending a 200-strong contingent to support the national Youth Day celebration in Negeri Sembilan later this month.
